[quote=Anonymous]Screens - Even if you generally avoid them, you’re in survival mode. Focus all your energy on getting better as fast as possible.  Save your strength for the things that absolutely have to be done, but make things as easy on yourselves as possible.  If PBS Kids are Dismey+ can help, let them.  Once you’re back on your feet you can reassert household rules.

A fort - let your kid pile cushions, or stuffed animals up, or give them a large box, or put a sheet over a card table. Having a fort/cave/nest is irresistible to kids.  Even regular toys are more fun in a cave.

Raid the kitchen to give them something different to play with. If it isn’t sharp and doesn’t have small pieces that could be a choking hazard, it can make a great toy. A plastic colander and plastic potato masher were big hits when my kids were little, as was an empty oatmeal canister.

Here’s a search with sites that might offer more ideas:

Good luck!  I hope everybody feels better soon.
